list file size

[Cedric Fontaine]

Hello,

Is there any way to list item size ? On D3, we can do LIST myfile
SIZE.

Is there an option to do this on QM ?

Thanks,
Cedric Fontaine

Cedric,

Make sure that there is a size item in either dict or the md(voc).

:ED MD SIZE
MD SIZE
10 line(s)
----: P
0001: A
0002: 9999
0003: SIZE
0004:
0005:
0006:
0007:
0008:
0009: R
0010: 13
Bottom at line 10
----:

You can list the size just the same way that you do on D3.

Hi Eugene/Cedric,

Although this suggestion works for compatibility with Pick systems, I
personally prefer an I-type...
1: I
2: LEN(@RECORD)
as this doesn't rely on some special interpretation of a field number of
9999 and is, therefore, readable by programmers who have not come from a
Pick background.

Nope. @record is the length of the record, EXCLUDING the key.

Hi Steve,

len(id) + len(record) ???

No. The id is not part of the record.
